With a chapter titled Last Kiss, is the super romance of Superman and Wonder Woman over?

“The Final Days of Superman” by Peter J. Tomasi is setting the stage for the DC UNIVERSE: REBIRTH launch beginning on May 25, which results in new identities, new costumes and…even more Supermen, a Super Son, Superwoman and the return of Supergirl.
